According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Google is growing increasingly concerned with Samsung's dominance of the Android - and smartphone - landscape. Supposedly, the topic is being openly discussed at Google, and as far as I'm concerned, that's great news.

The moment Samsung ditches Android, people switch to another manufacturer.

Maybe not, since people tend to buy what they're told to. If the marketing is good enough, and the device is 'sexy' enough, then who knows? People don't give a damn about functionality these days; they only care if it makes them look good while they're holding it.
